As many of you know, David Hober of Sam Hober makes some exquisite RTW and bespoke neckties. He also makes pocket squares, and today, I recieved a wonderful little package from Thailand. In it were four silk squares:
The three on the left are Macclesfield prints, and the one on the right what goes for Madder these days.
At any rate, one of the attributes that impressed me the most was how fantastically well the hand rolled edges are done. I don't recall ever seeing such edges done better. At $35 a square, it is quite a bargain.
Click the photograph below if you want to see a gigantic closeup:
The only thing that could be faulted with these is that they are borderless, but the workmanship and the quality of the silks themselves make me forget that entirely.
David also has quite a selection of Riva shirtings that you can get as squares...I plan on getting some myself given what I have seen with the squares that I recieved today.
